Editorial Review:

Product Description:
An Introduction to Wavelets is the first volume in a new series, WAVELET ANALYSIS AND ITS APPLICATIONS. This is an introductory treatise on wavelet analysis, with an emphasis on spline wavelets and time-frequency analysis. Among the basic topics covered in this book are time-frequency localization, integral wavelet transforms, dyadic wavelets, frames, spline-wavelets, orthonormal wavelet bases, and wavelet packets. In addition, the author presents a unified treatment of nonorthogonal, semiorthogonal, and orthogonal wavelets. This monograph is self-contained, the only prerequisite being a basic knowledge of function theory and real analysis. It is suitable as a textbook for a beginning course on wavelet analysis and is directed toward both mathematicians and engineers who wish to learn about the subject. Specialists may use this volume as a valuable supplementary reading to the vast literature that has already emerged in this field.

Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Infinite in all directions.
I have used the book, teaching a beginning course in wavelets, and it went over well with the students: they like that the proofs are clearly spelled out, and that the presentation is systematic. I supplemented it with S Mallat and Y Meyer's books. That was to give the course a more algorithmic slant. However, I feel that there are many valid approaches, and that the subject is infinite in all directions.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great introduction for Wavelet
For those who would like to learn the beauty of Wavelet theory, which is a great finding in Mathematics, this book would shed some light on it. Wavelet is elegant, a simple formula leads to so much interests, the application of Wavelet is everywhere, particularly in modern communications and signal processing, and there is still more waiting for people to explore. Enjoy the new journey.
